Board of Education L«ft to Right: Walter G. Niehus, superintendent; Zerrell Lockwood, secretary; John Homerding: Carlton F. Steigle; Richard I. Jones; Walter Rutten; Robert Bronk; and Floyd Hensel, president. OUR APPRECIATION TO THE BOARD The members of the school board are men of varied personal experience designated to see that the youth of our community are provided the opportunities to prepare themselves to be good citizens. Theirs is a single purpose. It involves methods of fi- nance, interpretation of public opinion, techniques of manage- ment, and long-range planning as a means to the realization of its purpose. We, the Staff, take this opportunity to express our apprecia- tion to the Board of Education for its interest in us and for its efforts in making this school an outstanding institution at the Cross- roads of the Nation. 11

THE SUPERINTENDENTS MESSAGE The paths of learning in an educational institution are many and varied, hor the boys and girls who are travelers along the highways of the Plainfield Schools, the educational opportunities and experiences become treasured and valu- able cargo. As the 1954 journey draws to a close and the travelers meet at the Crossroads, each with his individual cargo, a Community Storehouse should be provided to protect these treasures from the elements of time. It is our hope that this, the sixth volume of the Plainsman, will serve as that Storehouse — bulging with the treasures gathered from the present year's Educational Journey. 10
